How We Can Help

"I was scared to tell anybody what I was feeling." While Sarah experienced postpartum depression with her first child, things were much worse with baby #2. She knew something was very wrong. "It's so important that you seek therapy and medication if you experience postpartum depression. You deserve to enjoy your children."

With Shandrea's second son, after an emergency c-section, her depression led to suicidal ideations. "I had these very negative thoughts. I remember thinking - I'm not okay. I was worried they were going to take my kids away if I talked about what I was feeling." Thankfully, Shandrea reached out for help and now it's her mission to help other moms get the help they need.

Bella and her husband are both in the medical (hospital) industry, yet neither were prepared for the intense postpartum depression that descended on their home after the birth of their child. Valentine's Day was the breaking point for Bella, when she asked her husband to simply end it all. Thankfully, after some trial and error on medicine and therapy, Bella is well and her family is thriving.

Kristin talks about the struggles of her own postpartum depression. As a licensed mental health therapist and PhD, she had insight into what was happening, but many don't. 

Tina experienced postpartum depression with her first child. Unfortunately, the lasting effects of untreated PPD resulted in divorce. Getting professional help would have made all the difference.
